I cann't seem to find what exact MObo and brand of Harddrive or Mem. theese are "suposed to have, so I am wondering about where you get your evidence about "the parts in those systems are garbage." and if you think you can save a buck building it yourself, without a good volume discount, I bet we would all like to see how you do that.
